The One-Armed Lion Tamer
9" x 12" portrait of Captain Jack Bonavita, animal trainer of the early 20th century. He lost his arm as a result of his encounter with the lion 'Baltimore' at Coney Island in 1904. Captain Bonavita appeared in the arena with 27 lions, a performance which no other trainer had ever attempted. He met his death on March 19, 1917, when he was mauled to death by a polar bear.
Work in progress.

Typing Class
Typing Class. Somehow, I think I got my photos out of order and here is the finished painting before the progress pictures. Oh well. Accidents happen.
Original acrylic on acid-free, heavy paper, 8" x 10". An early twentieth century typing class for women. A portrait of a group of women, with their backs to the viewer, concentrating on improving their typing skills.
